He needs to score way more to make up for his defensive deficiencies. He showed some progress in that series but still not enough. Laf and Kakko were both noticeably better.

I still call "BULLSHIT" on that Kakko interfered with the goalie crap. Whatever...those whiny fucks are eliminated now! I wanna see my kids play well in this series....Chytil has to raise his game some more too! Make me a believer, Chytil!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a couple of defensive mistakes, but he was anything but soft that series. He was aggressive on the forecheck with the rest of the kid line, but that line as a whole needs to keep learning how to play in their own zone when they don’t have the puck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Turk is a genius. Just told Chytil to play more like Zibanejad and voila, it worked lol.

Myusername Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Beast. Our biggest concern going into the playoffs (kid line) so far has been one of our biggest strengths. This team can burn you in so many ways. Just sucks that we won't be able to retain everyone going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 4 defenders in front of a Vezina goalie....Kakko threads the needle, and Chytil buries it for the lead!!! The apocalypse may be near, but who cares! Igor can stop that too!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Even though he's not lighting up the scoresheet these playoffs like Chytil, or even Lafreniere, Kakko hasn't looked too bad himself. He should have had a couple of goals against Carolina. Yeah, he didn't finish as he should have on those chances, but he was creating and making things happen. Then prior to that, he had a possible late game-winning goal negated in the Penguins series. Last night's game he was creating some magic there with Chytil. If that line can keep it going, they have a great chance of winning the Cup. If not, either way, this gets you even more excited for the future.

LindG1000 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Right now, the Kid Line is the key to the kingdom. We're making opposing teams choose between Panarin, Zibanejad, or the kid line, and I'm going to bet dollars to donuts that there's no team left that has the ability to match up against three lines capable of burning them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda looked like Gretzky in his office on the first Chytil goal. These kids are really coming into their own....Geeez, I'm glad I never gave up on Chytil!!!

Chytil always showed you flashes of what he could be, but the flashes were very brief and did not occur that often enough to get you excited. It was understanding if you were down on him. I think a lot of us were. It seems like the light switch finally went on, and Gallant deserves a lot of credit for it along with Chytil himself. Seeing how the playoffs have gone and the fact that he's only 22 or so, gets you pumped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell maybe the Kid line becomes the 2nd line and we can load up the big guns on the top line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 With Chytil, this is the breakout we've been waiting two and a half years for. Laf still has work to do to produce more, but looks measurably more confident than he ever did before, and Kakko is getting dragged into the fight, which is helping to battle test him by force. You love to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll let Strome and Copp walk because they can't afford either player, kid line will be 2nd line and I really think they move Panarin to RW with Kreider and Zib. Goodrow to 3C with some low budget wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how the playoffs have gone and the fact that he's only 22 or so, gets you pumped. A prime example of one of those flashes is that move he put on Brendan Smith in G6 last series, where he had the puck and used his body to hip-bump Smith away to create separation, then took it towards the net and scored the backhand goal. That strong hip-bump and shielding the puck is nothing new for Chytil. It’s always been there and it’s the kind of thing I’ve always noted as “this kid has it in him - he’s big and strong”. He’s also fast. The finishing ability has been missing, apparently until now. Ironically, you know who has the same traits? The other whipping boy amongst the fan base - Gauthier. But for now there is simply no room at the inn for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 When LeeAss was here, I would always comment about how much more dynamic Chytil looked than LeeAss. He just oozed offense, but something happened it just went away. Maybe it was injuries or just lack of confidence, or both, or something else but he was trash for a really long time before these playoffs. He picked a really good time for his coming out party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
